Negative ChangeExperience Presented By: Stephen Kraning Leading & Managing Change Bellevue University Professor: Nima Stabet
Overview: • At Union Pacific Railroad we recently implemented a program called FTX. Which stands for Field Training Exercise. a new change in how we enforce and help each other when we are doing something that is unsafe and or against the rules. • Purpose: The purpose of this was to coach employees to safe behaviors when they are not doing something correct or thanking them when they are doing something safely. • Overview of my experience: My personal experience with the program is negative because I am getting a “ticket” every time I do something wrong. All while when I save the company millions of dollars I get no thank you. • Responsibilities: The responsibilities is in the hands of the managers and the Foreman since they are the only ones that have a ticket book. • Outcome: The outcome has been extremely negative and created a work environment almost hostile.
Forces Driving Change • Technology • Accountability for employees • Injury rate down • Company to have some control in program over TSC (TOTAL SAFETY CULTURE)
Diagnosing and Planning change • How to make tsc more management run • How to get it on the records that we talked to them • Not have it be negative when going on record • Have tickets used to show the foreman coached employees to a safer way of doing things
Implementing Change • Slowly release program in stages • Get the foreman on board • Train all employees what the program is • Show it for their safety and learning as well as the foreman
Shaping and Sustaining Change • Continue to grow we need safety rate low • As we move forward what can we do with the FTX program to keep it alive • Ticket are not just bad behavior anymore but also good ones so that recognize and thank employees for working safe
Adapt and Rejuvenate • Most important step for Us! • Get employee feedback • Can we change it to keep the program alive • Adjust to what the employees don’t like of it being on there record and getting an ftx ticket? • Let employees know when we messed up with program and not used the way we had intended.
Conclusion • UPRR could have succeeded with this program if they kept the TSC program that the employees loved • Just coming in and throwing something out is not in there best interest • Get employee feedback
